CHURN- MOTOR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 514,442, dated February13, 1894.

Application filed Tune 21,1892. Serial No. 437,438. (No model.)

.T0 @ZZ whom t may concern.-

Be it known that I, BENJAMIN J. CAMPBELL, of Altoona, Wilson county,Kansas, have inyented certain new and useful Improvements inUhuru-Motors, of which the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming apart hereof.

My invention relates to improvements in motors., for operating ehurnsespecially, and the obJect of my invention is to produce a motor whichshall be simple, durable and inerrpenslve of construction, and positiveand direct in its action.

To the above purposes my invention con sists 1n certain peculiarandnovel features of 'construction and arrangement as will be hereinafterspecified and claimed.

In order that my invention may be fully understood, I will proceed todescribe it with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which-Figure l, represents a rear elevation of a motor, embodying myinvention. Fig. 2, is a transverse vertical section of the same, takenFig. 3, is a plan view of the same.

In the drawings the motor frame is composed of the two front verticalstandards 20,just referred to, and of two similar standards 22 which areplaced parallel with each other and parallel also with the frontstandards 20. The two standards 2O and 22 at each side of the motor areconnected together by a horizontal base-bar or foot 23, and the upperends of these standards are connected together by horizontal crossbars24; the foot 23 and crossbars 24 extending parallel with each other andfrom front to rear of the motor frame.

At a point some distance above the foot or crossbar 23 the frontand rearstandards 2O and 22 are connected together by horizontal cross-pieces25, there being two of said crosspieces, one located at the front of themotor frame and the other at the rear thereof.

At a point considerably above the crosspieces 25, the standards 2O and22 are provided With horizontal crosspieces 26, there being two of thesecross-pieces, one of which is located at the front of the motor frameand the other at the rear thereof. The frontcrosspieces25and26areconnectedtogethermidway of their vlength by avertical piece 27, and the cross pieces 25 and 26 at the rear of themotor frame are connected together also midway of their length by asimilar vertical piece 27.

Upon the cross-pieces 2$at the top of the motor frame rests a horizontalbar 28, which is located nearer the rear ends of the crossbars 24 thanthe front ends thereof, and the extremities of which project outwardbeyond the said cross-pieces 24, for a purpose to be hereinafterexplained.

29 designates the winding-arbor of the motor, this arbor extendinghorizontally from front to rear of the motor-frame and having its endportions journaled in the cross pieces 26 at points to the left of thevertical crossbars 27 when the motor is viewed toward its front. Therear end of this winding arbor projects beyond the rear cross bar 26 andis made square or angular as at 30, to receive a crank-handle 3l bymeans of which the arbor 29 is rotated for the purpose of winding themotor. Upon this windingarbor 29 is mounted an elongated hub or sleeve32 which is preferably of such length as to extend from the frontcross-piece 26 to the rear cross-bar 26 and said hub or sleeve is formedat a point about midway of its length with an integral ratchet-wheelVThis hub 32 is loosely surrounded by a gear-wheel 3i which liesadjacent to the front side of the ratchet wheel 33, and said gear-wheelalso carries upon its rear side a pawl 35, being pivoted as at 37 uponthe rear side of the said gear-wheel 3e.

38 designates the horizontal arbor which is mounted in the cross-bars 26to the right of the vertical pieces 27 looking toward the front .of themotor, and upon said arbor is mounted a gear-wheel 39, the hub of whichconstitutes a gear-pinion 40; the teeth of this gear-pinion 40 meshingwith the teeth of the gear-wheel 34 above referred to. The teeth of thegear- Wheel 39 mesh with the teeth of the gear-pinion 4l, which isformed integrally with a gearwheel 42, and which is located at the rearside of said gear-wheel 42, This gear-wheel 4:2 and its gear-pinion alare mounted upon a hori` zontal arbor i3 the ends of which are journaledin the upper portions of the vertical cross-pieces 27 before described.The teeth of the gear-wheel 42 mesh with the teeth of the gear-pinion4i; this pinion being mounted IOO upon a horizontal arbor 45, the endsof which:

are journaled in the lower portions of the vertical piece 27. v

Upon the outwardly projecting ends of the cross-bar 28, previouslydescribed, are journaled two sheaves or pulleys 46, and over thesesheaves or pulleys extend two cords 47, or ropes or chains or othersimilar flexible connections. The lower portions of these two flexibleconnections 47 are wound in thesame direction upon the rear portion ofthe hub 32 which surrounds the arbor 29 and the outer or opposite endsof these iiexible connections 47 are connected to weights 48. It willthus be seen that by turning the crank-handle 3l in one direction thehub 32 is thus rotated so as to wind the lower portions of the flexibleconnections 47 upon said hub, the pawl 35 during this winding actionslipping over the teeth of the ratchet wheel 33 and the weights 48 beingraised to their uppermost limit. AsA

soon as the crank-handle 3l is released from the operators grasp, thepawl 35 engages the teeth of the ratchet wheel 33, thus compelling thegear-wheel 34 which carries said pawl to turn the ratchet-Wheel 33 andthrough the described train of gearing rotate the arbor 45 of the motortrain.

The front end 49 of the arbor 45, is formed with a square projection asshown; this projection being adapted to engage the shaft of a churn ofany suitable construction (not shown) to operate the saine.

From the above description it will be seen that I have produced achurn-motor which is simple, strong, compact, durable and inexpensive inconstruction, and direct and positive in its action and which ispreferably adapted by the form of its construction for operating thedaslier-shat t of the churn above described.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is u In a churn-motor, the combination with asuitable supporting frame, having an ac tuating-arbor 45 having asquared end, a pinion 44 mounted upon said shaft, an arbor 43 and agear-wheel 42 thereon, and meshing with the pinion 44, and a pinion 4lalso upon said arbor, an arbor 38, a gear-wheel 39 thereon and meshingwith the pinion 4l, and a p inion 40 upon the shaft 38, an arbor 29having a squared end, and a hub 32 mounted thereon and having a ratchet33, and a gear-wheel 34 loosely mounted upon the hub and meshing withthe pinion 40, and also having aspringactuated pawl 35, engaging theratchet 33, and a horizontal bar 28 carried by the framework and havingbifurcated ends, and grooved pulleys 46 mounted therein, and ropes 47secured at their inner ends to the hub or drum, and at their oppositeends carrying weights 48, and guided over the pulleys 46, substantiallyas described.

In testimony WhereotI afx my signature in presence of two witnesses.

BENJAMIN J. CAMPBELL.
